The Blogger
I’m Robbie, a 24-year old freelance illustrator and graphic designer armed with self-deprecating humor and optimism against the shiz of living in the third world.
Don’t be fooled by the dorky glasses. I’m not a smartsy-pants. In fact, I failed Algebra 3 times when I was in college, because really, what am I gonna do with all those polynomials and factorizations when I grow up, right? Instead I finished studying Multimedia Arts in De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde.
In case you haven’t noticed yet, I’m very much into myself. Yeah. You will see tons of vanity photos in my entries. Be prepared.
I’m into young adult fiction, milk tea, anime and manga, playing the violin, and anything that’s in a certain shade of blue. For more fun facts about me, you can check out this 25 random facts about me.
Why The Creative Dork?
Before I started this blog, I was frustrated with the fact that I’ve been drawing less and less every year. I felt like my creative juices were running out for good. With high hopes of regaining that creativity, I made this blog and named it such so it would motivate me to own up to the name.
Aside from some personal entries, my goal for this blog is to spread awareness about Filipino creativity, not only in the visual and performing arts, but every means of self-expression and ways to support the creative industry. Wherein being creative does not only mean having a knack for painting, photography, or film-making but merely the fact of being able to create something significant and new.
This is a lifestyle blog where I will share the perks and struggles of people living in the creative industry. Basically, I will try to share every creative thing I can get my hands on!
During the first year of its existence, this blog has been awarded an Emerging Influential Blog for 2010 and Best Lifestyle Blog in the Philippine Blog Awards 2010.
